FERC: Pipeline security woefully inadequate
Commenting on the Colonial pipeline outage, the chairman of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) said May 20 that standards over national pipeline security were notably absent.
A ransomware attack on May 7 disrupted operations on the 8,850-km Colonial fuels pipeline that meets about half of the demand for refined products on the eastern seaboard.
